The Smith Street Band - Birthdays lyrics
[The Smith Street Band - Birthdays lyrics]
Spent the morning cleaning my room
In the hope you'd ask to see it soon
Let's pretend it's our birthdays
Separated by a couple of years, and I'll
Meet you on the corner of the water
And the Elizabeth Street pier
Wanna be alone, wanna be surrounded
Wanna be transient, wanna be grounded
But all the dissonance disappears from me
When you drape an arm across
My knee intentionally lazily and
You'll be the one looking confused
And I'll be the one looking for you
We are more than future housewives
More than the sum of our past lives
Two lovers in basically matching shirts
Jaywalk together across petrified earth
And if there's more to life
Let me forget all about it tonight
All I want occupying my mind
Is "What is the highest thing
We can climb before sunrise?"
And you'll be the one in uncomfortable shoes
And I'll be the one
Who's probably too drunk but still
Offers to carry you and I'll be the one
And you'll be the one
And we'll laugh at it for being so obvious
But in our hearts, we'll take it so serious
To the outside world, stay oblivious
To all of our friends
Our actions will be hideous
And I'll be intense, and I'll be too much
And I'll get too high, and I'll get too drunk
But in between episodes
I will love you more than
Anyone you have ever known
And I don't mean to put the pressure on
You're gonna like my dad
I know you'll love my mum, and
I don't mean to put the pressure on
Got a few names for a daughter
Can't think of one for a son
And I don't mean to put the pressure on
I don't mean to put the pressure on
I'd do anything
(I don't mean to put the pressure on)
I'm here to see this through
Anyway, hey my name's Wil
Ah, it's nice to meet you
In the hope you'd ask to see it soon
Let's pretend it's our birthdays
Separated by a couple of years, and I'll
Meet you on the corner of the water
And the Elizabeth Street pier
Wanna be alone, wanna be surrounded
Wanna be transient, wanna be grounded
But all the dissonance disappears from me
When you drape an arm across
My knee intentionally lazily and
You'll be the one looking confused
And I'll be the one looking for you
We are more than future housewives
More than the sum of our past lives
Two lovers in basically matching shirts
Jaywalk together across petrified earth
And if there's more to life
Let me forget all about it tonight
All I want occupying my mind
Is "What is the highest thing
We can climb before sunrise?"
And you'll be the one in uncomfortable shoes
And I'll be the one
Who's probably too drunk but still
Offers to carry you and I'll be the one
And you'll be the one
And we'll laugh at it for being so obvious
But in our hearts, we'll take it so serious
To the outside world, stay oblivious

And I'll be intense, and I'll be too much
And I'll get too high, and I'll get too drunk
